Antibiotics During Intrauterine Balloon Tamponade Placement

Obstetric ComplicationPostpartum Hemorrhage1 more

The goal of this study is to identify whether antibiotics given at the time of placement of an intrauterine balloon tamponade (IBT) will result in reduction of the risk of endometritis. The investigators hypothesize that antibiotics given at the time of intrauterine balloon tamponade will reduce the likelihood of postpartum endometritis.

Vaginal Cleansing at Cesarean Delivery to Reduce Infection: A Randomized, Controlled Trial

Cesarean SectionEndometritis1 more

The objective of the project is to find out whether cleansing the vagina before a cesarean delivery decreases the risk of complications and infections after having the baby. If this is the case, cleansing the vagina before cesarean delivery can help improve outcomes for many women and make their early postpartum recovery much more pleasant, giving a healthier start for the family.

Effect of Sterile Versus Clean Gloves Intrapartum and Postpartum Infections at Term

ChorioamnionitisIntrauterine Infection2 more

This prospective randomized controlled study examines whether the type of glove used (sterile vs clean) for cervical examination to assess progression in labor impacts the rates of intrapartum and/or postpartum infection in patients during labor or induction of labor at term.

Comparison Study of Cefazolin Versus Cefazolin Plus Azithromycin Prophylaxis in Post-Cesarean Endometritis...

Endometritis

Despite the generalized use of preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis, endometritis remains as the most frequent post-cesarean delivery complication. This increased morbidity translates into extended post-partum antibiotic use and prolongation of hospital stay with the subsequent increase in health care expenses. The current regimen recommended by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists for cesarean delivery prophylaxis (1st generation cephalosporins) does not cover for Ureaplasma Urealyticum, a microorganism that has been associated with an increased risk of endometritis in post-cesarean section patients. Azithromycin, an antibiotic that has both aerobic and some anaerobic coverage, uniquely covers Ureaplasma and would be an excellent second antibiotic for cesarean section chemoprophylaxis. Our hypothesis is that the addition of azithromycin to standard chemoprophylaxis with cefazolin can effect a 25% reduction of post-cesarean section endometritis.

Diagnosis of Chronic Endometritis in Endometrial Fluid Using Molecular Techniques to Improve the...

Chronic Endometritis

Chronic endometritis (CE) is a persistent inflammation of the endometrial lining caused by the infection of the uterine cavity mainly by bacterial pathogens. It is known that CE can produce implantation failure, recurrent abortion and preterm labor. The study hypothesis is that patients who have repeated implantation failures (RIF) despite transferring good quality and normal embryos, diagnosed by preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD), into a receptive endometrium, diagnosed by Endometrial Receptivity Analysis (ERA), may present asymptomatic CE, being the altered endometrium the main cause of these implantation failures. The current diagnosis of CE is the microbiological culture of endometrial biopsy samples. Alternatively, examination of the uterine cavity by hysteroscopy is effective at 93.4%. However, both methods have limitations, such as the time needed to obtain the diagnosis, the economic cost of the tests, the possibility of detecting microorganisms in culture etc. For these reasons, the developing of a simple, fast, cheap and minimally invasive diagnostic tool for CE patients subjected to IVF treatments is expected. It would be very useful in order to establish a specific treatment and improve pregnancy rates in infertile patients. For this reason, the bacterial DNA present in the endometrial fluid samples will be obtained and the identification of the causative pathogens of CE will be done by sequencing (NGS) and/or quantitative PCR with specific oligonucleotides for the most common bacteria causing CE. The validation of this new method will be performed by comparison with the microbiological diagnosis of those same patients.

Management of Prelabor Rupture of the Membranes at Term

Fetal InfectionChorioamnionitis2 more

Prolonged rupture of membranes has been associated with increased risk of chorioamnionitis and endometritis. In this study the investigators will investigate whether an early intervention to augment labor with oxytocin is superior to expected management for spontaneous delivery (up to 24 hours).

STRIPES Study: Study To Reduce Infection Post cEsarean Section

Chlorhexidine Gluconate ClothsInfection; Cesarean Section3 more

The objective of this study is to determine if the use of chlorhexidine gluconate cloths prior to cesarean section reduce the rate of infectious morbidity (i.e. surgical site infections, endometritis). The study will be offered to women who present for a scheduled primary or repeat cesarean section at Mount Sinai Medical Center. The eligible women will be randomized to use of a 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) cloth or placebo cloth (a fragrance free cleansing cloth) the night before and the morning of their scheduled procedure. Participants will be blinded to the arm in which they have been assigned. This study intends to show that the use of 2% CHG cloths prior to cesarean section will reduce the rate of surgical site infections.

Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Prelabor Rupture of Membranes at Term

ChorioamnionitisPuerperal Endometritis3 more

The aims of this study are to determine whether antibiotics administered routinely in women presenting with premature rupture of membranes later than the 37+0 weeks of gestation can alter the rate of maternal and neonatal infection and to compare these rates between prompt (< 12 hour) and delayed (≥ 12 hour) induction in the group of patients not submitted to antibiotic prophylaxis.

Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Ragged Placental Membranes

Endometritis PostpartumEndometritis1 more

In some centres, women are routinely given a course of antibiotics postnatally if ragged placental membranes were present at delivery. The investigators examined the necessity such an intervention.
